Abstract
Increased stress on the environment induced by intensive industrial, municipal and agricultural landu se require s new strategies to protect the natural resources for our food and drinking water. This demand raise s new questions about soil management including poss ibilities to prevent further contamination of soil, atmosphere and groundwater systems. Soil water flow and solute transport models can provide a tool to analyse and develop alternative management strategies, if they adequately address these new questions. Several model1ing concepts are reviewed including determini stic capacity-type, Darcy-type, and multiple-continuum approaches as well as stochastic methods ranging from Monte Carlo and perturb ation methods to travel time distributi on models. They are discu ssed with respe ct to their usefulness for natural field soils and their applicability in scenario studies.
